Luck You Kyoto 3 stars

Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto

Luck You Kyoto offers accommodation in Kyoto. Free luggage storage is available.

The rooms are equipped with a flat-screen TV. All rooms include a private bathroom with a bath and bidet, with bathrobes and slippers provided. For your comfort, you will find free toiletries and a hairdryer. Luck You Kyoto features free WiFi throughout the property. I loved absolutely everything about Luck You, a japanese-style inn. The team was lovely and friendly, the room was comfortable, clean and beautiful. The futons were very cozy, the breakfast delicious. It's next to a sento (public bath) that guests can use for free. The building itself is beautiful and everything looks new. I travelled with my partner for a second honeymoon and I'll treasure my time in Kyoto forever.
